  The conventional wisdom seems to be that this amp does not have enough clean headroom to gig with. This may be true if you have a hard hitting drummer and have high output pickups, but I have yet to find a gig where this amp isn't loud enough for my purposes. I play a tele and turn everything to 12 o'clock, (except the bass which I dial back), and run my solo/rhythm levels from my guitar. I find that it is loud enough for my r'n'b country, folk and church gigs: and plenty clean to boot. If you play a bigger room or have a loud drummer, mike it. It works great with pedals too. Its a great cocktail jazz amp too!
  For rock gigs, play a Les Paul through a treble booster and it sounds like all your favourite records from the 70s. Again, if its not loud enough mike it, but it should keep up with most drummers, its stupidly loud for 5 watts.

  This amp does at first appear expensive, when comparing to the other amps in it's class, but the volume this thing puts out is phenomenal. I would quite happily gig with it, it's perfect for recording, and a valve change really brings it to life (marshall stock valves are crap). With the valve change it even has a small amount of clean headroom, but not at live volumes. I wouldn't be without it.
